Dr. Maurer was presented with an Honorary Scientist Laureate Award at the close of the ceremony by Jennifer Larsen, M.D., vice chancellor for research. The award, Dr. Larsen said, was to commemorate the growth in research activities at UNMC under Dr. Maurer’s leadership.
“Dr. Maurer has made it very clear, from when he became chancellor to now, how important research and the growth of research is to UNMC’s national stature,” Dr. Larsen said. “It is in part because of his leadership and continued emphasis on research that we are where we are today.”
